Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania

During this program, students will spend time on a collaborative retreat experience with Loyola students, stay with host families while attending daily classes, and will have an unbelievable opportunity to participate in a Safari.

Focusing on spiritual, academic, and personal growth, students will be asked to step out of their comfort zones and truly embrace everything the amazing culture of Tanzania has to offer.

List of 4 items.

Because cultural immersion is such an important part of our exchange program, and in an effort to keep our cost reasonable, our students stay with host families during all of our exchange programs. BC High students who host an exchange student in their home and participate in an international seminar have the most fulfilling experience. For the 2017 - 2018 school year, there is not a host family expectation for BC High families as this group visits the school every other year. However, next year, the Hyde Center will reach out to participants to be involved as host families if possible.

Estimated between $2,550 - $3,300 - Cost includes tuition, board, meals, travel within Tanzania, and activity fees. Expenses that are not included are: round-trip air travel, personal items, and services such as passport fees, phone calls, and personal spending money. (Final cost is determined by participation.)

This program runs for two weeks in February. Students will travel during February vacation and miss an additional 5 days of school before or after February vacation. Students will be responsible for meeting with teachers to create a personal plan for assignments and class time missed while in Tanzania.
